I like this idea, and I'd be happy to see official support for an FC  
release last ~13 months.

Of course, this would end all interest I have in Fedora Legacy, which  
at this point is mostly to allow upgrading (well, re-installing in my  
case) from FCN to FCN+2.

How much of this is just speculation at this point, and how close is  
this to being actual policy?
